Abstract
Recently, every 40 seconds, a child goes missing or is abducted worldwide. Many parents are
worried about the increased occurrence of children straying. We are forced to see and read
many tales about children and students who are abducted or who do not return home. The
majority of the tales end in tragedy. The purpose of this study is to discuss the
implementation of a children monitoring location system for each kid that attends school.
With an increase in the number of children going missing, Sen. Charles Schumer has
recommended that the federal government subsidise monitoring devices for autistic children
to ensure they do not go missing. These suggested tracking devices might be worn as
wristwatches, anklets, or integrated into identification cards. The kid module is comprised of
an Arm7 processor, a global positioning system, and a global system for mobile
communication, while the receiver is comprised of the parent's mobile phone. It is really
beneficial for women's safety.
INTRODUCTION
Children monitoring systems are extensively used across the globe to reassure parents that
their children are protected from suspicious behaviour. In today's society, almost 80% of
the population under the age of seven or eight possesses a smart phone [1]. The planned
technology would also monitor a child's movements outside the house. This is for a
variety of reasons, one of which being the incredible features and capabilities that modern
smart phones, particularly those based on Android, provide. GPS has exceptional
positioning capabilities, which may be leveraged to design innovative applications that
assist in finding missing or lost children. This initiative is intended for use by parents and
is focused at assisting in the recovery of missing or lost children. It capitalises on the fact
that the majority of today's youngsters own a smart phone, which is ideal for this kind of
circumstance. In this work, GPS is integrated with one of the fundamental services of a
smart phone, GSM, more precisely SMS, to create a single system.
EXISTING SYSTEM
The system, created by Yuichiro MORI et al., makes advantage of the "Autonomous
Clustering Technique" to manage groups of Android terminals tied to schoolchildren.
Android devices include a wireless LAN and Bluetooth module. As a consequence,
youngsters get little personalised attention. It provides a lower level of security [2]. Cyber
Travel Tips did research [3] and discovered that in Malaysia, The majority of missing children
fall into one of two groups. The first classification is disappearance, which involves fleeing from one's
home. Additionally, a technique for monitoring children is being developed using mobile ad hoc
networks. According to the approach proposed in [4], each parent cannot get group information on
the child's whereabouts in a GPS or tag-based system. A self-configurable system for monitoring

offspring of the next generation. The Hiroshima City Children Tracking System is an ad hoc network-
based safety assistance system for children. Field trials were undertaken in collaboration with a
Hiroshima elementary school. The purpose of this work is to propose a new generation of children
tracking system based on the experiences and results of the Hiroshima children tracking system field
tests [5]. Existing technologies, on the other hand, are insufficient to prevent crimes against children
and to assist parents, since it is difficult to collect data on children collectively.
SYSTEM DESIGN
Creating a kid monitoring system to reassure parents that their youngster is
protected from questionable behaviour. If a kid is missing, the information is
transmitted to the appropriate parent's mobile phone if they leave the service
area. Additionally, if a youngster wishes to communicate that they are in
danger, they will hit the panic button located on their school ID card. Internet
access is available on mobile terminals. It accepts the child's message and
forwards it to the parent's cell phone. This architecture consists of the
following components:Power supply
Arduino UNO KIT
Panic button
GPS
GSM

The ARM7TDMI core is the industry’s most widely used 32-bit embedded RISC
microprocessor. Optimized for cost and power- sensitive applications, the ARM7TDMI
solution provides the low power consumption, small size and high

performance needed in portable, embedded applications.
The ARM7TDMI core is a general-purpose 32-bit microprocessor from the ARM family. The
ARM series of microprocessors provides excellent performance at a low power consumption
and a compact footprint. The ARM architecture is built on the ideas of Reduced Instruction
Set Computing (RISC). The RISC instruction set and associated decoding process are much
simpler than those used in Complex Instruction Set Computer (CISC) architectures. This
simplicity results in the following:
GSM MODEM
GSM is a worldwide recognised standard for digital cellular communication. A GSM modem
is a kind of wireless modem that communicates via a GSM network. GSM SMS techniques
play a critical part in this system. GSM SMS messaging is capable of handling a significant
volume of transactions in a relatively short period of time.
time. This single GSM connection is capable of processing hundreds of transactions.
GPS MODULE

GPS is a multiple-satellite-based radio positioning system in which each GPS satellite
broadcasts data that enables the chosen satellite's distance to be accurately measured. The
Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite navigation system based in space that gives
accurate position and timing information in all weather situations, anywhere on or near the
globe.
PANIC BUTTON
This panic button may be used in conjunction with a hardware module. If the youngster
presses the panic button, a message is sent to the parent's mobile phone.
ADVANTAGES
1. Because the youngster did not have the expertise to update his position on the map at
the time, the application automatically handles location requests without user
intervention. 2. When internet access is unavailable, that programme utilises SMS.
The frameworknecessitates location and telecommunications services. 3. It may be
used inside without GPS satellite connection. At that point, it may make advantage of
network-based location services.

VII.CONCLUSIONAND FUTURESCOPE
At the completion of the experiment, it was determined that it will be used to locate missing
children. This project was provided detailed information on kid tracking systems via the use
of two components, namely GPS and GSM telephony services. Finally, this application is still
in need of improvement. Emergency notifications and similar features may be added to the
system to improve it. The suggested system will be further developed in further study.
